Noting for the record that the edit I reverted consists largely of editorializing regarding the events that obviously comes from a segregationist point of view. Nine large, very POV paragraphs contain numerous dubious claims, without citation -- despite the editor's claim in an edit summary that he restored this version of the page because a previous reversion "vandalized important sources".

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Ole Miss riot of 1962's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 05:15, 23 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
Looking at the older versions of the page, I fixed the cite from what I could determine. Kierzek (talk) 13:01, 23 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

'''... on September 25, Senator E. K. Collins made a speech stating that "we must win this fight regardless of the cost in time, effort, money and in human lives."''' I can't find any evidence of a Senator E. K. Collins; the closest I found was [[Edward Collins (Wisconsin politician)]] but he wasn't a Senator and he lived a hundred years earlier. - Brian Kendig (talk) 14:46, 20 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
According to one of the sources Collins was a Mississippi state senator, some mentions also describe them as being from Laurel (presumably Laurel, Mississippi). I can find other mentions, e.g. this report mentions a contribution from a Mississippi state senator called E. K. Collins. Hut 8.5 18:25, 20 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
[1] also mentions an E. K. Collins representing District 5. Hut 8.5 18:31, 20 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
